Publish to .mac and redirect

Is it possible to publish a site I made with iweb to .mac and then have it redirected to another domain name?

They are asking for the IP address but I only know
the URL. What do I do to redirect to .mac now?
You can't use the IP address, only the URL. If the people you are working with will not offer you the kind of "Domain Forwarding" service that uses the URL (sometimes they want to charge extra), you will need to change the place where you have your domain name.

Publish to .mac AND other server

Question:
I already publish to .mac - no problems there. I need to publish another website on another server. I published to a folder, used Fetch to upload it - works great (I know I lose some of iWeb's features, but that can't be helped).
Here is my question - now when I publish to .mac - the second site I created for the other server loads on my .mac space also. This is not a huge deal - I have no links from one site to the other, it just seems like a waste of space. Is there a way I can choose to upload only my primary site to .mac and not the other one as well?

Hi Scott,
The best thing to do in your case is to separate your two sites into two separate Domain files. That way the two sites can be edited and published independently from one another, so you don't have to have both sites uploaded to .Mac.
If you are in sort of the beginning stages of doing this second site, it might be easiest to start over in a new Domain file. If however, you do not wish to start over with the second site, then splitting off this second site to another Domain file can be done as well.
I'll refer you to a page put up by Mark Heaton (Apnewbie) on the process of domain separation...
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation
You might also find this iWeb helper application called "iWebSites" useful in managing your multiple domain files and creating new domain files, etc...

Using iWeb to publish to .mac and separate web page

Hi all,
I have a rather complicated question. I am in the process of developing three web pages: 2 pages will be developed with iWeb and hosted off of .mac. For the third website, I have purchased a domain name and would like to publish it with iWeb.
Is this too complicated?
How is this done? I have some technical knowledge with regards to website but am new to the apple web publishing world.

To keep things separate create a new user account on your machine for the non .Mac Site.

Publishing to .mac and go daddy

I have a .mac account that I publish to. I work for a non-profit and they want to re-vamp their website via iWeb. We have a go daddy account that our site currently uses. Is it possible to publish create the new work website in iWeb then publish it via the go daddy account without interfering with my personal .mac account?
If so, could someone walk me through the process before I get in too deep?
Thanks!

Can I hybrid-publish to .Mac AND another host?

I have a site with a lot of video clips, and am rapidly approaching the 4mg max for .Mac. I love the convenience of using iWeb and publishing automatically, and would like to continue utilizing the ease of that without bothering with having to FTP it to an outside host site every day. So I’m thinking of creating a hybrid – does it sound like this will work?
I use the Blog or Video archetypes to create new entries, so that visitors can subscribe and be notified of new entries. What I would like to do is archive older video entries on an outside host – these would be pages that won’t be changing anymore, so I think I could just do an Archive page and “link to a webpage” for them without iWeb needing to reload anything every time I publish. A “Return” button would bring them back to the Archive page on my .Mac site.
Workable? Crazy? Any votes?

Hi Cynthia!
I am already doing something similar... I am uploading my videos and stuff to Google Video (http://video.google.com) and then editing the HTML pages that iWeb publishes in order to show the videos through my page. Here is an example...
Putt-Putt's Deleted Scenes
I use the basic method of adding HTML to iWeb pages to reserve "windows" on the iWeb page so that the videos can show through via Google video (by means of the embedded HTML code from Google). Here are the instructions for adding external HTML to your iWeb pages...

Let me know if you have any questions! Good luck!

General inquiry - Why ar .Mac and publishing/accessing iWeb sites so slow??

Greetings,
I do realize that that general topic has been addressed somehow many times, in whole or in parts. I am just shooting for a general update on the subject(s).
I have grown fond of iWeb and just renewed my .Mac subscription. I am also a user of Dreamweaver and FrontPage. I just find the iWeb/.Mac combination so straight forward and... irresistible fun to play with!
BUT, before i commit more to that environment, I need to know - again:
1. Why is .Mac/iDisk so slow in access?
2. Correspondingly, publishing to .Mac and iDisk is slow. Why, actually?
3. Difficulties in accessing iWeb sites published to .Mac/iDisk when using InternetExplorer (which, whether we want it or not, IS the predominant browser out there...). We know Firefox is better at it.
4. Ultimately, would publishing iWeb sites to other servers (I have a couple of non-iWeb websites currently hosted elsewhere) make publishing AND accessing such sites speedier?
I will appreciate any advice, input, assessment.

I think it's because it's more a social server with a lot of server side features available for .Mac users and iLife applications. Therefore there's a fair amount of server work when users use it for email, web sites with slideshows, backing up, etc. A commercial server will be much faster. There are othesr here that know more about servers than I and can give you a more technical explanation. But you're right, it is slow but convenient.

Publish Error Workaround - Manually Publish to .Mac

If you are having problems publishing your iWeb sites, you can manually publish to .Mac and still get all of the special .Mac-only features by following these steps:
1) Choose "Publish All to .Mac" from the file menu.
2) As soon as you get the message that your site upload will continue in the background, open Applications > Utilities > Terminal
3) In Terminal type:
open /var/tmp
4) A Finder window will open. Find the folder called "folder.SomeNumber". Open it and then open the TemporaryItems folder. In it should be several folders called com.apple.iWebSome_LongNumber. In one of them you will find a folder called "sites" that contains all of your sites from iWeb ready to upload to .Mac.
5) Copy (Option-Drag) this "sites" folder to your desktop
6) Now you can upload the contents of that folder to the proper location on your iDisk (the correct path is iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/)
I hope this helps some of you get your sites published. It worked for me.

Hi geebee - bit long winded but this is the full fix that I wrote up for someone else - it worked for them so good luck.
1. To create a new login, open system preference folder and open accounts. Unlock by clicking on the padlock icon. Now click on the plus icon which will allow you to create a new login name and password. Tick allow user to administer computer. Lock the padlock again and close window.
2. Go to apple logo top left of screen and logoff your username - you will be prompted shortly with choice of logins and choose the new one - you get a fresh screen which looks like when you first switched on the mac. You can test iweb here by publishing any old template to see if it works. It should do. Assuming all is ok, this next is how to publish your existing site.
3. Go back to your normal login. Find the domain file and copy it to dvd - domain file can be found as follows: open finder > click on house icon (yourname) >click on library >click on application support >click on iweb and here you will find domain file - copy it.
4. Log out and log on to new login again - find domain file in this system and delete it then in its place put your copy domain file from the dvd. When you open iweb in this system you should see your web files and hopefully you should now be able to publish them. This is where I succeeded.
5. If successful I have since discovered that you can do the reverse - ie. delete the domain file from your main login - copy domain file from your new login and put it back in the original system. I found this shook off whatever the problem was. I have also discovered since that I seem to have lost some functionality in that the slide shows don't seem to work now so I guess I might have to rebuild some of the pages - but the important thing is it will now publish.
Hope you can follow this and hope you have the success I had. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with, and let me know if it works.

Publishing on .Mac versus another hosting plan

I published the same Blog on .Mac and another hosting plan and get different results. To publish to my hosting plan at aPlus.net I first publish to a folder on my disk and then ftp that folder to my host.
At ,Mac the Blog works fine. At aPlus.net when I click on the first entry I get the following error
Not Found
The requested URL /Investing/Blog/Entries/2007/8/18The_week_afterpillâ€¦.html was not found on this server.
Note the strange characers inserted after pilla....I have published the same stuff several times to a different folder and have ftp-ed several copies of this folder to aPlus. but the results are different compared to .Mac
You can check it out by going to these two sites and click on the first entry
http://www.flemishDNA.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
This is the copy residing on .Mac
http://www.dokuspublishing.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
this is the same blog residing at aPlus.net
Where do these strange characters come from and how come publishing to .Mac and to another host turn out to produce different results ?
Anyone?

Non-.Mac servers sometimes have more restrictions on characters they will accept. Yours is perhaps not accepting the ellipsis in UTF-8.
One thing you could try is to put an .htaccess file in your web space with the entry "SecFilterEngine Off" and/or "SecFilterCheckUnicodeEncoding Off" (without quotes).
A utility for fixing filenames with accented characters is available here.

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

Try iStudio Publisher

Links are broken, and iWeb won't publish to .mac

Hi,
Just installed ilife and immediately ran update, and tried to continue editing/updating my site.
After publishing, the look of the page was fine, however, all the links to my blog entries were broken. Tried republishing, changing themes, and other to get it fixed. Still links are broken.
Now I am getting this error from .mac and iWeb:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/My_Page/Blog/Entries”. Try publishing again later.
Is this a known problem thats being fixed?
I hear of lots of people having problems. Any ideas? Anyone?

Well, I first took a lot out of my site by deleting from my Idisk so I could go down to a small site to be published. I checked on my sign in with .mac and discovered my husband's signin was current...not mine, so I changed that to mine. then proceeded and was successful. Hated taking down so much but it is still in Iphoto so can reconstruct.
For some reason I was getting a Publishing Error message so I would recommend checking on your settings for your .mac signin. i still am showing that I have 4.95GB in my site. I just need to reconnect some of my links and then all should be fine. Good luck.

LINKING TO SITE ALREADY PUBLISHED ON .MAC

Hi,
I have recently changed computers following a disk failure. I use .Mac and iDisk to back up all personal files and therefore no data was lost, but there is one rally annoying problem: I cannot link the newly installed iWeb to my pubished pages on .Mac.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or is the uploading of pages from .Mac simply not yet supported. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You .Mac homepages and iWeb published pages are kept in separate areas and are mutually exclusive of one another. You can continue to edit your .Mac homepages via the .Mac Homepage interface, but you will not be able to edit them through iWeb. The reverse is also true...iWeb published pages can only be edited within iWeb.
You can, however, link the two of them so that they appear to your visitors to be one webspace. This is done by providing links to each on either webspace. WillG4PB has an excellent tutorial explaining the whole process of Redirecting to and from .Mac and back. Check it out here...

DivX "for Mac" and Safari -- anyone get it to work on Snow Leopard?

Pardon me for the length of this post -- it's just a very involved question to which DivX has no answers, and I've literally wasted this entire week trying to get the so-called DivX "Bundle for Mac" to work, with absolutely no joy.
27" iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.7
Safari (v. 5.0.5 [6533.21.1])
Safari Extensions:
DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94
DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94
As anyone who has used YouTube in the past year or however long this option has been available, many videos, under the regular YouTube control bar at the bottom of the video window, have an additional option: DivX HiQ, with a blue "play" button with black arrow, and in white text on black, the message "Press play for higher quality video." EVERY SINGLE time, until yesterday (about which more anon) I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX Plus player window for a few seconds, sometimes I get a brief "Buffering…" message (sometimes not)* (see below), then a window pops up telling me "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection." (screen shots on request).
I have DL'd AND installed -- several times over the past few days -- DivX for Mac, version 7.3 (right up-to-date as of 11-30-10 -- great support for the Mac OS), with little or no success or noticeable results. Finally, yesterday, it somehow (I thought) installed correctly: at least instead of nothing whatsoever happening after the install, this time I was whisked magically away to <<http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/installed/mac?os=mac>> where I was rather breathlessly informed "Congratulations! You can now enjoy the highest quality digital video | divx.com." Well, this was something new -- this was the first time I'd ever gotten this far. Then I was shown many movies, promising new marvels:
The first movie informed me "You have successfully installed DivX software." This WAS something new. Then it told me about the "DivX Plus Web Player… Now Featuring: DivX HiQ… Boost web video quality and performance… … Look for the DivX HiQ Button on your favorite video sites… see better quality and performance with a simple click… Try it out on your favorite sites… YouTube. Vimeo. And more.
Then I played the NEXT movie, all about the DivX Plus Player, and here I TRULY saw something I'd never seen before: *a DivX Plus Player window, that actually said " Connecting… Buffering: … " and then -- mirabile dictu! -- an actual video began to play, and actually continued to play, with no stops, fits, or error windows, right up until the end. This WAS something new under the sun. It continued, extolling the manifold virtues of "DivX to go," which was of no use to me. The next video was about the DivX Plus Codec Pack, and the video told me about the wonderful things DivX could do in Windows 7, if I was brain-dead enough to USE Windows 7. Useless info, but that video, too, opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," and then actually opening and playing. BTW, I hate to sound like a troglodytic Luddite, but I have no idea what "MKV" video is.
The final video, which ALSO opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," spoke to me about the manifold joys of DivX Plus converter, which ALSO requires the DivX Player application, and since the DivX Player application (v.7.2 (build 10_0_0_184, Copyright © 2006-2009 DivX, Inc.), which, I was given to understand, was actually a PART of the DivX software I had finally "successfully installed" (according to divx.com's delirious greeting), has never worked, none of what all these videos talked about was going to do me much good. HOW has it never worked, you ask? It has never worked in this way: I click on the DivX Player app icon, the DivX Player window opens, and the Mac OS beach ball spins merrily away, and spins, and spins, and spins -- at this point, I usually go to the kitchen for another cup of the strengthening coffee and the hopefully headache-reducing ibuprofen. When I come back, the beach ball is still spinning, so, resignedly, I go to the "Force Quit" command, where, invariably, I see the message "DivX Player not responding," and, resignedly, I force quit it. Again. This scenario has occurred without variation every single time I've tried to open the DivX Player application. It has never actually opened correctly, it has always shown up in the "Force Quit" window with the comment "DivX Player not responding," and I have always had to Force Quit it.
Now Here's what may be termed the icing on the cake: fairly well buried in the "DivX for Mac" install package is a pdf "read me." Among many other fables is THIS whopper:
"For online video tutorials visit the following URL in your web browser: http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials"
I did just that, and though the link works, there IS no page on the DivX site for "Mac tutorials." When you click on the link, you get redirected to "http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main." Except for a video tutorial under "DivX Converter_ -- for which I have no use -- entitled "How To Edit Your DivX Converter for Mac Output Settings," and these two: "How To Export To DivX In Final Cut Pro for Mac," and "How To Export To DivX Using QuickTime On A Mac" -- neither of which do me the slightest bit of good, since A) I don't use, nor can I afford, Final Cut Pro, and B) what good would it to to export ANYTHING to DivX when the DivX Player for Mac does not, and has never, done anything but hang until Force Quitted?
A brief digression on that very subject of "hanging:" there's a little section in the obscure "DivX for Mac" pdf that reads:
"5. Known issues
Network connection is lost during download
A lost network connection in the middle of a download may hang the DivX Player For Mac. If this occurs, you may 'Force Quit' the DivX Player For Mac by simultaneously clicking command-option-escape and selecting the application from the list or by right-clicking the icon in the dock and selecting 'Force Quit.' You may then resume the download by re-launching the DivX Player, selecting 'Download Manager” from the File menu and clicking 'Resume.'"
Wonderful advice, if I could ever get to the point where I was actually downloading something, but since MY particular edition of DivX Player for Mac saves me all that bother by hanging immediately upon launch, DivX has very kindly saved me the trouble of having to go through all that "Force Quit" - "Resume" nonsense. Of course, I never get to download anything or use the DivX Player on YouTube or anywhere else, so that's a bit of a downside.
So back to the putative "Mac tutorials" on the non-existent "http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials" page: other than the three totally non-germane examples I cited above, there is nothing that I can find on the re-direct page (http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main) that is the least concerned with the usage or behavior of any component of DivX on a Macintosh computer. That's certainly not uncommon, but for a company that purports to sell products that actually work on the Mac OS X platform, EVERYTHING about the DivX site is so totally Windows-centric, one would be inclined to believe that DivX is not even aware the Mac OS X platform exists. For example, here's the list of tutorials under "DivX 101 - Learn How" on the page that, according to the DivX for Mac Read Me, was supposed to solve all my problems with running DivX on a Mac:
Featured Video Tutorials
How to register your PS3 for DivX VOD playback
How do I make DivX player my default video player?
How to register your DivX Certified device with the DivX Plus Player
How to stream DivX Plus HD (MKV) files to your Xbox 360
How to use the DivX Plus Converter
Featured Text Guides
DivX Plus Converter for Windows User Guide
DivX Plus Player for Windows User Guide
DivX Codec 5.x User Guide
DivX Codec 6 and Virtual Dub Guide
It's wonderful that DivX has tutorials dealing with XBox360 and PS3, but the Mac seems to have been lost in the shuffle -- I think, from an aesthetic point, the guy in the sideways hat and the emphasis on animé and "blow 'em up" games in what few tutorials are actually there pretty much sums up DivX's idea of their market focus. Maybe they're right, but if this "free" version, that so far I have not been able to get to work as advertised on my 27" iMac, is supposed to entice any Mac user into forking over even the piddling $20.00 for the "Pro" version, the "free" version isn't DivX any "gotta have it" favors.
Now for the final mystery: I have two Safari -- v5.0.5 (6533.21.1) -- extensions from DivX:
1. DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94, which is supposed to allow you to watch videos on YouTube, Vimeo, etc. in the DivX Player for Mac, but refuses to work when enabled: EVERY SINGLE time I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX player window for a few seconds, then an error window pops up that says "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection."
2. DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94, the little blurb in the Safari Extensions window for which says "Increase performance and video formats for your HTML5 <video>
Clicking on the "by DivX, Inc." link in the Safari Extensions window of either of these extensions takes me to http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/web-player
"High-quality video shouldn’t stop at your browser. DivX Plus® Web Player gives you the best web video performance around, even on sites using Flash®. The latest feature, DivX HiQ™ beta, lets you replace the default Flash player on popular sites for improved performance. Of course you can still watch stunning DivX® and DivX Plus HD (MKV) videos right in your browser, and even enjoy MKV features like multiple audio tracks, subtitles and 5.1 channel AAC audio."
That's all well and good, but, not when it doesn't work. I don't know what the story is with these Safari Extensions: a manual (unfortunately the only way you can do it), category by category search of Apple's "Safari Extensions Gallery" turns up NO information about these extensions, neither does -- as far as I can tell -- a search of the DivX site. Am I supposed to use BOTH extensions? Neither? One or the other? Which? So far, if I use them, I get the HiQ option in YouTube (and elsewhere), but when I click on it, I get the error message above, and the window reverts to the usual plain old YouTube window. If I disable the DivX Safari extensions, I don't even get the HiQ option.
Has ANYONE gotten the DivX for Mac Bundle v7.1, or even the DivX Plus Web Player for Mac, v2.1.1, to actually work on a Mac running OS X 10.6.7?
If so, PLEASE tell me how you got it to work.
I'd gladly for over the 20 bucks for this product if it actually worked, but not until it does.
Bart Brown

Well, I can start banging my head against the brick wall again.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. After some more experimenting, i finally got it to work ... However, not every embedded DivX movie will play.
I just deleted another codec in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. (One of the codecs mentioned on http://perian.org/#support was still in the folder). Before I had only deleted the files whose name has "DivX" in it.
I did NOT install the DivX Web Player plugin.
Now some DivX videos play, some don't... So maybe I should re-install the DivX Web Plugin? But the Web Plugin never worked for me ... If I re-install it, won't I go back to where I started?

It could be that your previous DivX player was out of date.
As Perian says, you need both.
First, I certainly wish you (or my search of Apple Discussions, which, inexplicably, did not turn up this discussion) had referred me to this discussion before -- it would have saved a LOT of time.
Now, to your reply to Philippe Pauwels: "As Perian says, you need both." Both WHAT, exactly?
From the initial release of Perian 0.5, September 29, 2006, to the latest release, Perian 1.2.2 - Tuesday, April 13, 2011, there is not a single mention of DivX in the entire 2006 to 2011 version history. The only information on the Perian support page regarding DivX is the paragraph that states, in part, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: ...DivX, DivX Decoder..."
Can you please tell me what you mean by "Perian says, you need both," in regard to putative DivX Extensions, Plug-Ins, Components, whatever?
Finally, on July 12, 2009, you posted, in a reply to martin Alper, a list of "the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you." Taking into consideration that it's 2 years later and most versions have newer updates -- including Mac OS X itself -- some items are no longer among us, and some NEW ones have shown up. could you please update or comment on this list, for the benefit of all sufferers?
Thank you very much,

You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs:
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
Thanks again

PS: You wrote "It is a pity you chose a camera that produces video in that format! As you have discovered it is incompatible with iMovie." Uhh, I don't know where this question came from -- more stray copying and pasting, perhaps? I have no camera, and am not trying to do anything pertinent to this discussion with iMovie.

Publishing to .mac - how many domains can i have?

ok.
I have a .mac account.
I have a domain name outside of .mac.
I have used iWeb and have published my pages to .mac.
My domain name, let's call it myname.com, is pointed to my .mac domain.
So instead of going to web.mac.com/myname, it goes to myname.com
Wonderful.
I have used iWeb to easily design my personal webpage.
I can use myname.com and no one has to bother with the big, long hard to remember .mac domain.
Exactly what I wanted.
Now:
I bought 2 more domain names.
One is for my art project.
One is for my writing project.
I want to use the same easy process detailed above:
Use iWeb to design and publish each one to their designated domain names (like one would use a dreamweaver type program)
The Problem:
The .mac account seems to only want to publish to ONE designated domain name.
It seems that .mac only HOSTS ONE with the annual membership.
I don't want to have my personal site, my art project, and my writing project to be linked.
I want them to be THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE WEBSITES with THREE TOTALLY DIFFERENT DOMAIN NAMES. I would like to pay apple to host all three websites. Let's call them:
1) myname.com
2) artsite.com
3) writingsite.com
I've read many posts on this forum and noticed that many people have had this same issue but haven't really had their question answered.
I UPGRADED my membership to a FAMILY PACK thinking this would resolve my issue - I get 4 more accounts with .mac and I can HOST AND PUBLISH up to 4 more totally separate websites by paying the additional $80/year.
I tried this and when I log out of my main mother account that holds myname.com
and i log into my sub-account that holds artsite.com,
it does not seem that I can HOST AND PUBLISH to a BRAND NEW .mac domain.
it seems the family pack does nothing but give you extra email and iDisk storage, etc.
it seems to NOT offer an additional HOSTING AND PUBLISHING feature.
My QUESTION:
Does anyone know if it is possible to have a .mac account OR have a .mac upgraded family pack
that will allow me to host and publish to three totally different unrelated websites?
the iwebsites program only allows you to keep the iweb designs in separate folders - THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I want to use iweb to design my websites (the way one would use dreamweaver, and use my .mac account to host the 3 separate websites).
Is this possible?

You can host only ONE domain at dotMac.
As a matter of fact, iWeb is irrelevant in this matter. You can create your own pages in any HTML editor and dotMac will happily serve them. With or without a domain.
I know that iWeb is irrelevant, however I am choosing to use it to design my webpages and would like to use it to publish to several different domain names that i want to have hosted through .mac
If you bought more domains then follow the advice you quoted.
which advice i quoted?
By +Your hosting company+ is meant the company where you purchased your domains. In your case Network Solutions.
I have forwarding too (at [DynDNS|http://www.dyndns.com>). I forward to any page I want. If a webpage is visible in a browser window you can forward to it. With or without masking.
No where on Network Solutions does it give me the option to use web forwarding or web masking in my account options. Apparently this is because I do not pay for hosting. I only have paid for the domain name.
When you have a family pack you have 5 dotMac accounts. Each can be used to host a domain. At least that's what I understand from the dotMac Help.
I refer to the dotMac forum (again) for further help.
I have posted here as well as you suggested and I have had zero posts or replies, but I do appreciate you noting to do so. Hopefully someone will know!
I would say that Apple should not mention the relation between iWeb and Personal Domain and just say that the Domain points to the /iDisk/Web/Sites folder and that there should at least be an index.html file present.
But then, I'm not marketing the stuff.
True, but I'm not confused about how iWeb relates. I'm only using it because I'm choosing to. I can get dreamweaver but don't really care to install it since iWeb can do what i need.

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)
